No suggestions, as I am only 19 days out of surgery. But I have to commend you for taking a step and thinking about getting a revision or something because you didn't go through all that work for nothing. I hope you keep us posted. Welcome

Well....I'M BAAAACK! It took a while for me to even have a little bit of interest to even text people to let them know how I was doing and I didn't even want to get on the computer at all. Today is my first day back at work, 19 days out of surgery and I feel pretty darn good. I mean, I still...

Thanks all. As the clock ticks down I am getting more and more nervous. When I'm up to it I will post how it went.

Tomorrow at 8 am when I walk into the hospital my life will change forever. I am a bundle of nerves right now; I am shaking, sick to my stomach, hungry (liquid diet), and excited. I ultimately can't wait to get in that hospital bed before surgery and get that shot that makes you relax! I think...

My husband had the sleeve and I see that is what you both had..he experienced the same thing for 6-8 weeks. Then it was fine...almost like a light switch. Now he can eat his meal and get all his protein in. He had issues with swelling around the intestines, so that might be what you are...

Low fat cottage cheese if you can handle it. I get breakstone 4-pk brand. I can't remember what amount of protein it has, but it makes for a delicious snack and protein rich.

Well now, surgery is Wednesday. I am going to be on all clear liquids tomorrow. I have to take a laxative at 10 in the morning, that should be interesting with work...lol. As luck, and my stupid body, would have it I started my period this weekend. That will make for some interesting...

That helps a lot SwtHrt7! Thank you.

What a wonderful way to look at it. I enjoyed a "last dessert" and felt guilty afterward. Good luck!

It seems like the more I try not to think about it the more I actually think about it. I am ready for this, I am past the stage of "what the hell am I doing?" and now I am at the stage of "OMG, it is 6 days away". :eek: I am not scared of dying, I mean I am already asleep I wouldn't even...

I love Unjury. I wasn't a fan of their unflavored though. At this stage, I think you should try as many different brands a possible to see which one you like the best. I went though 4 different brands and finally Unjury won. You don't want to get stuck with something that you feel you have to...

No. Although I do like that they are catered to people with bariatric surgeries. I have been using a chewable mulit from GNC..it is berry flavored and isn't too bad.

Thank you. My husband had the sleeve done in april so we have been on the lean meat phase since he was cleared for solids, I have lost weight doing this with him. I have started protein shakes for breakfast, I have been upping my walking (as that is the only real exercise I can do right now, and...

Most places don't carry it so I had to go to unjury.com

I am having mine done at Barix Clinics in Ypsilanti on July 24th. My only pre-surgery diet requirements are a clear liquid diet the day before. I am taking it upon myself to do a full liquid for 9 days before.

Thanks! I can't wait. I have started an official countdown on my phone.

July 24th here. Gastric Bypass. I can't wait!! I will be starting my full liquid diet July 15th. I have started with protein shakes for breakfast to get me use to the taste. Anyone have a favorite brand? I am using UnJury, which is the best tasting so far. I have tried EAS, Designer, GNC brand...

Hi DMG- I just signed up for this forum today and I see that you are also a Michigan person! I know what you mean about the comfort zone. I was always the person who was/is comfortable with myself. Going to doctors hearing I was morbidly obese didn't even bother me; until one time when I was...

Hi, I am Debra and I have a surgery date of July 24, 2013. I am 30 years old, married, with no children. I work full-time, have a wonderful life that I truly can't wait to start enjoying more. I have had problems with weight since junior year of high school but really gained after high school...
